The sole complaint I'd make to this astonishing masterpiece is: it's last page comes to soon. One might like to read it forever and ever and more… García Márquez leaves Macondo only to show that his genius doesn´t depend on his childhood impressions and fabular riches of his hometown. This is a very unconventional love story involving two men, a woman and a city. C'est la vie…. such is life or should be. Thanks, Gabo.
